When you listen to Strings of Life, you can instantly recognise the sound of its decade, the piano riffs, the strings, all the machines plastering what May had to advance as a fraction of his mental-scape, the core of not only this song but all his musical works. A feeling, vibration, perspective. With "Kaos" on the B side you are only a patient listen away from understanding the staple of this music called, Hi-Tek Soul.
